Title
2012 Tropical Cyclone Murjan Path
Description
This layer shows the movement path of 2012 TC Murjan. The cyclonic storm, Murjan formed over the south Arabian Sea in association with an active inter tropical convergence zone during last week of October 2012. It was the first cyclone over the north Indian Ocean during this year. Moving west southwestwards, it crossed Somalia's coast between 1700 and 1800 UTC of 25th October near lat. 9.80N and 50.80E. Though the Ocean Heat Content was less over the southwest Arabian Sea (50-80 KJ/cm2) and further less near Somalia's coast (less than 50 KJ/cm2) as well as SST (26-280C), the system could maintain its intensity of cyclonic storm till landfall, basically due to low to moderate vertical wind shear. After the landfall, due to land interaction, it weakened into a deep depression over coastal Somalia at 1800 UTC of 25th October. It further weakened into a depression over Somalia in the morning of 26th October while moving west-southwest wards.
